Students, Enroll in DUO Two-Factor Authentication!
Sign-up takes only minutes, and should be completed by Feb. 28, 2023.
Check your student email for DUO Instructions.
What is DUO?
Duo is a two-factor authentication service, which is working with Maricopa Community Colleges to provide students with an extra layer of digital security. Duo will protect you against hackers, cyber threats, and unauthorized access to your personal data.
By Tues, Feb. 28, students enrolled at Phoenix College, and other MCCCD schools, should enroll in Duo to access digital resources, including the Student Information System (SIS).
The Duo Push App
There are several ways to use Duo. One of the most convenient options for authentication is Duo Push. The app is easy to install on your smartphone, provides the best security, and is a great way to stay connected during daily use. Duo will send you a “push” notification every time you’re prompted to authenticate.
No WiFi or cell signal? The app provides a back-up method to verify your identity, by means of a passcode.

Details are explained on the MCCCD DUO page. Check your student email for instructions to enroll.

Answers to Your Questions

Two-factor authentication is a secure way for you to access your online accounts by verifying your identity through two factors: a password (something you know) and a device (something you have, such as a smartphone).
Where can I learn more about DUO? Maricopa's Duo page provides resources, as well as instructional guides, and videos: maricopa.edu/duo.
Do college employees need to do anything? No action is needed at this time. The DUO system is already in place for faculty and staff.
